I was gathering all the herbs left in my garden and threw together some fresh herb butter logs to freeze. I had to share this wonderful way to preserve the summer garden. You can freeze the logs in small sandwich bags and keep in your fridge freezer to use every day. I use them on…

Roasted Tomato Soup With still more fresh tomatoes to use and being I want to to eat them as fresh as possible. I made this roasted soup. The longest part is roasting the tomatoes, it is an easy recipe to do and if you have a stick blender it is a snap! Ingredients: 15 large…
